BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis. They are messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). rRNA forms ribosomes, which are essential in protein synthesis. A ribosome contains a large and small ribosomal subunit.

Detailed explanation-2: -Every cell has a 16S rRNA gene as the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is an integral part of the ribosome, which is responsible for making cellular proteins. This gene is only about 1550 bp in length in prokaryotes and every cell has from one to more than 25 copies of this gene.

Detailed explanation-3: -RNA consists of ribose nucleotides (nitrogenous bases appended to a ribose sugar) attached by phosphodiester bonds, forming strands of varying lengths. The nitrogenous bases in RNA are adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil, which replaces thymine in DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ribosome is a complex molecule made of ribosomal RNA molecules and proteins that form a factory for protein synthesis in cells. In 1955, George E. Palade discovered ribosomes and described them as small particles in the cytoplasm that preferentially associated with the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
